It gets the lead out

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eraser

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">it gets the lead out</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for eraser that I've seen before include "Stationery item" , "correction device" , "India rubber" , "destroyer" , "Rubber, thing that wipes out" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
